Freerice Inspired Poetry

25 June 2012

Last week we asked Freericers on Facebook and Twitter to write a Haiku using one word that they had learnt while playing Freerice.

They then added their poems to the comments on Facebook or tweeted their poem at Freerice. Here are the inspiring poems we received - not all of them followed the traditional Haiku format, but there were too good not to share!

A twinkling light in the dark,
A bright, vivid color in the black,
A bit of hope in hopelessness,
Only you can be these beautiful things,
So let your inner unparalleled beauty be
Projected around you like the light of a star,
And you can change the World

My heart hurts to see,
Not many truly care about humanity,
My eyes can cry,
Yet people still die,
What can I do ?
Not much...but sometimes just the feeling is enough,
Enough to keep me up,
Enough to know I can't give up !!

Last night I ate some fish...
... but then I thought, "This isn't what's on every dish..."
So I went online...
To kill some time...
And guess I found!
A few years ago...
On this news show...
...they said we could end hunger with a fun and plain site.
I looked and looked, with all my might
and I found Freerice.com!!
I played all day. I even told my Mom!!
So belive it or not, here I am... and this last sentence isn't gonna rhyme, but who cares? Lol. I liked the poetry, so I sat down for about five munuts and I made this up.

'Click click' goes the mouse.
As i tap away in my house.
up and up, the grains go.
The people in africa must know..
In small amounts, help is here !
So we, the helpers, can sit, have a beer.
Giving, answering, all day....
